The meeting of the warehouse as
ISOLATION Yesterday did not materialize
on account of the storm.
The thermometers ranged from 16
to 80 degrees below zero this morning,
but the most reliable showed about %
degrees.
Christian Miller, the convicted
horse-thief, was examined by DR.. Jacoby
and found to be not crazy but suffering
from fit. He is all right now.
Hutchinson & Moffett have Santa
Claus at their store bearing down on
prices, and no one need fear that they
will not get bargains at the Central Phar-
macy.
Parties intending to send packages
by the American or U. S. express should
send them without delay in order to
avoid the rush. Already the companies
have about all they can handle.
AT the meeting of the directors OF
the Y. NJ. C. A. last evening Messrs. p.
J. Hawley, b. futile and w. NJ. Fsrr
were appointed committee to solicit
subscriptions. About 800 has already
been collected and about as much more
is necessary. No other business was
transacted.
The Inter Ocean sheds the following
information:
The revolutionary war wasn't fought
Yesterday, and yet there are thirty-eight
old ladies, averaging IS years, who are
still revolutionary pensioners. Nancy
Rains, of Carter's Furnace, Tenn. is the
Oldest, age 90; Betsey Wallingford, OF
Mankato, Mimi, is next, at 81. The IL
linois pensioners are Sarah Dabney, OF
Barry, and Jane HARRISON, of Pinckney-
vile. The old veterans must have taken
young brides, or there would not be on
Uncle Sans books even this small roster
of dependents whom it is the pleasure
of our government to provide for.
Mr.. r. T. Daley, of Napoleon, hith'
erto law student with Freeman & Pau
was recently examined by committee
of the bar for admission to the legal fra
ternity, and that committee has present
ed favorable report. Mr.. Daley Is 9
bright young man, and will make his
mark in the world. The other applicant
was unsuccessful.
1t may be remembered that in the
more or less distant past assertions we're
made that L. P. Hunt was defaulter 10
to the U. s. government during bis term
as postmaster at Mankato. This morn
ing, however, Mr.. Hunt received 8
check from the postoffice department
for $2.25 as the amount due him upor
fnaal settlement, so that instead of be
ing defaulter it appears that the COY
eminent has been in debt to L. p. fol
several years. 1t takes the p. o. ID
a long time to settle up with a retirIni
postmaster, but it gets there SURE
enough after long and tedious amour
I of red tape.

DEATHS HARVEST.
Hon. NJ. D. L, CoIlester Passed
Away Saturday Morning.

Hon. NJ ID. L, Collester, Of this city,
departed this life at 3:l5 Saturday morn
ing.
in the boiler inspection matter at Litch-
field. about Nov. I'D, and was confined
to bis bed one day while there. He re-
turned TO Mankato Nov. 25th, and on
the Sunday following was taken sick
with pleuro pneumonia, of which, after
very painful illness of nearly three
weeks, he died this morning.
His funeral will be held from the Epis-
copal church in this city ON Monday
next. at 10 =. M, and q service by the
Odd Fellows viii be held at his grave in
Glenwood cemetery,
Mr.. Collester was born in Marlboro,
n. H., January 26th, lS40. lie graduated
with high rank at MiddleburY. College in
Vermont IN 1855. He then read law at
Newport, N. H., and came West and
commenced the practice of law at Min
neapoiis in 1867. Shortly afterward he
accepted professionally of Greek and
Latin languages in Shattuck School, at
Farihault, and continued in such position
until 1872, when he went to Waseca and
again entered upon the practice OF his
profession. While at Waseca he was
five years county attorney; one year
mayor of Waseca, and one year, 1885,
represented Waseca county in the State
Legislature, in which he was chairman
of the Judiciary committee Of the House.
He was also while at Waseca almost con-
stantly on the School Board, and held
other minor offices. In the spring of
1885 he moved to Mankato, where he
has since lived.
He leaves a wife and one child to
mourn his untimely death.
Mr.. COllester was man of ripe scholar
ship and took high rank in the practice
of his profession. He was fluent, forci-
bic and eloquent public speaker; was
liberal and charitable in ali of his opin-
ions and both kindly and upright in his
conduct.
Few knew him at all except to honor
and respect him and few intimately ex-
cept to love him. His boyant spirit al
ways overlooked with 80 much sport and
happiness that he made all around him
happy, while his heart was so,flled with
goodness, kindness, charity, compassion
and mirth that there was no room for
anger, jealousy, hatred or revenge.
In his death his family loses most
husband and father, the
a man whose soul was full
of sunshine, and the bar a member
whom all respected and loved.

Nav to Bell.

DEAR BELL; I'll write you short letter
To say I'm wonderfully better;
How much that means you ought to know,
Who saw me Just one month ago
Thin, nervous, fretful, white as chalk,
Almost too weak to breathe or talk:
Head throbbing, as If fit for breaking,
weary, ever-present aching,
But now life seems different thing:
L feel as glad as bird on wing!
l say, and fear no contradiction,
That Pierce's Favorite Prescription
Is grand! Why, I'd have died without It'll
Ma thinks there's no mistake about 1t,
It's driven all nay ills away;
Just come and seel Yours ever, MAY.

Robert L. Lind and R. Cation, both OF
Minneapolis. These gentlemen will take

having been in this country but two
years. Mr.. Lind is an energetic younO

experience in the shoe business. They
have both come here to locate perma'
nently, they say.

We mourn TO-DAY the death of a broth
er We could not spare, of co-laboreI
who cannot be replaced, and feeling
that those who need help, of whatever

ResoLUe, That our Order has sustained
an irreparable loss IN his death; his

husband and father, and the community
man possessed of those rare graces and
virtues which won for him the highest

Without regard to pain or pleasure
he never for an instant hesItated be.
tween what was right and what was even
of a dubious or questionable character

combined in his character the noblest
traits of an honest and honored man.
II Is therefore ordered, That Sunday Jan

our departed brother.
II Is also ordered, That copy of these

Letter from Boston.
(COrrcspOndence of the journal, I

Correspondence of the Journal
BOsToN, July 10. 1887. All Boston is loyal
to the American game, and enthusiastic for the
local team. fremont street cars on the day of
game are packed as long as hanging room
remains, and Walpolc street, leading to the
grounds,is then the most populous place in the
city. Two weeks ago Boston's nine was con-
fidently expected to reach first place, but luck
or skill deserted them, and they fell to the
third instead. Detroit now seems to he on the
wane, while Chicago is drawing nearer. Be-
ginning to-day Boston plays series with Chi
cago on the home field. If good fortune attends
these games, and the local team holds its own
in the following games abroad, the Beantown-
ers will even yet find the pennant not far from
their grasp.
The Boston blues are no more. Interest be-
ing concentrated on the national league, the
New England games here did not pay, and the
blues were transferred to Haverhil, the old
Haverhills and the Salcms being disbanded.
The Blues are allowed to keep the percentage
won previous to the transfer. The Portlands
have been playing poorly of late. Much better
work must be done by them, for Lowell and
Manchester are rising rapidly. Thus far the
Portlands have had first place, without drop,
but Saturdays experience at Lowell must not
be repeated, for Names honor on the diamond
is in Portland's keeping.
The Maine league looks well as reported in
Boston papers. The Penobscot valley leads the
State for baseball enterprise, and may Belfast
be unsurpassed in the league.
One of the most successful newspaper vent
urcs is the late edition of the Evening Record,
containing full reports of the afternoon games
of ball. 1t has great sale until l.te in the
night.
The Globes letters from Ireland now in
course of publication are Iy Mr.. Virgil G.
Eaton, one of the staff of that paper, a native
of Prospect, Maine. Mr.. Eaton was sent to
ireland to report the actual condition of Ire
land and to point out from the spot the needs
and the grievances of the Irish people. AT
Dublin he spends the day of the queens jubilee
in County Kildare itself he learns the sutlerings
of Lord LansdOwne's tenants; everywhere he
finds home rule to be the dearest wish of the
people.
If liberal advertising will do it, the new Bos-
ton and Maine $. s. Co., will be made success.
Capt. Deerng and the steamer Forest City have
made two trips to Castine, Machasport, and
intermediate landings. Having often been pro-
jected, it will soon be learned whether direct
line to Mount Desert is required for the accom-
mediation of the rapidly growing eastern travel
